COMPONENT Description ITEM DESCRIPTION Oxygen Concentration Dial A B C D A dial used for selecting oxygen concentrations between 20% -100% or 30% -100%. The FIO2 scale is used for reference only. The actual FIO2 must be verified with an Alarmed Oxygen Monitor / Analyzer. This Dial does not rotate 360°. The dial starts at 20% or 30% and ends at 100%. Primary Outlet Port A male DISS oxygen fitting with check valve that delivers flow when engaged to any controlling device, such as a flowmeter.
Pre-use testing WARNING • Read this User Manual before installing or operating the HELIO2 Blender. • Confirm the concentration of heliox with an alarmed Oxygen Monitor / Analyzer. • Confirm contents of heliox cylinder prior to use. CAUTION Inspect the HELIO2 Blender for visual damage before use, DO NOT USE if damaged. NOTE: The tests listed below should be performed prior to placing the HELIO2 Blender in service. Pre-Use Testing consists of: • Alarm Test • Reverse Gas Flow Procedure 1.
Reverse Gas Flow Procedure (CE Requirements ONLY) 1. Assure bleed flow valve is not engaged. Disconnect the oxygen hose from the gas source. Remove all outlet connections from the HELIO2 Blender to ensure that there is no outlet flow. 2. Place the free end of the oxygen supply hose under water. While gradually increasing the heliox supply pressure from 30-75 psi (2.07-5.17 bar) check for leakage past the oxygen inlet check valve. 3.
7. Confirm the concentration of heliox with an Oxygen Monitor / Analyzer. If necessary activate the bleed flow valve to maintain FIO2 accuracy. 8. To activate the bleed, turn and rotate the knurled collar back until it contacts the cover. 9. To deactivate the bleed, pull and rotate the collar away from the cover until bleed flow valve is closed. 10. Turn “OFF” the heliox and oxygen supply or disconnect when the HELIO2 Blender is not in use. CLEANING CAUTION • • • • • DO NOT steam autoclave.
